Seeking the Sacred
Imagine the world we would live in if we dared to see all of life as sacred - unconditionally.
At a time when religion is increasingly seen as a cause of prejudice and division, or as irrelevant to our most pressing concerns, the eternal truths of a genuinely inclusive spiritual wisdom have never been more urgently needed or sought.

I really like her books and am thoroughly enjoying this. It pulls together the concept around the key of all religions and practices is the same, and that is to find and celebrate the sacred in ourselves and others. Not a religious book, more a mindful book.
Wonderful.
This is a book to read more than once and to take your time about reading.
